We’ve received a few comments here and there from customers mentioning the small size of the fonts used for their labels. But the comments were infrequent and irregular, so it was hard to figure out a pattern. However, we recently took a more in-depth look at this issue and we found something that, in hindsight, should have been obvious: Only certain fonts seem to cause this reaction.

So we looked at those fonts and found that, even though they’re the same official font size as our other fonts, they’re not the same size at all. They’re much smaller.

You can see in the image how the print sizes of our smallest four fonts are different from our bigger fonts.

So we have updated our code that if you choose one of the smaller fonts, we’ll automatically boost them by one size, which means that your labels will be similar in size as if you had chosen one of our bigger fonts.

It was pointed out to us that our 3-character cover monograms are great if you want to show your initials, but they’re one number short if you want to write the year. Good point. So we’ve updated that feature to allow four characters, so you can write the year (or two middle initials).
